Planet Maynard

Ash Rothschild was the lead singer of Sydney band Caligula from 1990 till 1994. He now sings with The Graveyard Rockstars. In this park bench Surry Hills heartwarming moment, Ash talks about 90s bands like The Cure, Frente and Girlfriend. 90s drugs like MDMA and Passion Pop. Warning: this show contains adult concepts, like becoming a parent and fear of using the phrase “you tell kids that today, and they won’t believe you.”

Tim and Maynard search for a format yet again. We ask you about your pet sex names and Tim gets harsh reviews from a young local boy. Maynard eats an odd shaped cookie. Again. The audience is put on notice to lift their game.

The fall of Malaya and Singapore and the experiences of the men in the POW camps is difficult subject matter. Peter Brune has spent 9 years on his 600 page book Descent Into Hell. He has written about the issues of war in a bluntly honest way.

Tim is back from Hobart. Maynard test drives a theme tune. We answer your crankmail. You choose to most erotic word & tell us what modern love about. Could Flying High be made in 2014? Maynard interviews Doug Anthony All Stars from London 1990. Just what is in our “bug out” bag?

A bumper 3 hour show of the Sunday Afternoon Fever show from 21st March 1993. Guests; Caligula, Donna DeLory (Madonna dancer), Elvis (from Newcastle) & Sale Of The Century winner Russell Cheek. Maynard’s Mastermind quiz and other things to puzzle over from the 20th century. We also attempt to solve the burning social issue of 1993; Who was the better band Frente or Haircut 100?

Peter Barton has produced a reference work for the WW1 battle of Fromelles. The book has taken 10 years for him to produce and tells the story from both sides. Peter Barton has given more perspective to a very brutal battle in Australian military history.

The show that shouldn’t have had a 1st episode, has a 3rd. Tim Ferguson and Maynard take your questions and ask a few of their own. Tim Ferguson makes bold statements about politics, burlesque AND Richard Fidler (completely unsupported by facts) Maynard swears twice and admits to reading a book recently. PLUS your regular dose of Lorne Greene. This show is going nowhere even faster than we thought.

Young Maynard hosts his weekly show on community radio 2NUR-FM. It’s 11pm Friday, 2nd November 1985, Australian economic growth is at 8%, Samuri Trash are playing Uptown Circus, Giddy People (Castanet Club) are playing The Ambassador and a young Labor Council upstart Anthony Albanese has an issue with McDonalds. I’m also working only flat top haircut as you can see.

The Pet Shop Boys played 3 shows as part of Sydney Vivid festival. Maynard caught the Saturday night show and spoke with the fun folk in the audience.

Travel to 3rd October 1993 as Kim Wilde joins the show to take questions from the audience. Also hear Mrs Sinatra, Lance & The Hollywood Kids, Crappy New Releases & Yeah Yeah’s in studio. The day after Sleaze Ball 1993. What a show!
